• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Ran into a problem with the Material Editor. I first renamed and converted the texture files using the Mass Texture Editor. In this case file were rename from textureXX.bmp to iqaluit_terminalXX.bmp. This worked and the new textures files were created. However, when I opened up the Material Editor, it still showed the original textureXX.bmp names. Not very useful, that. ;)
 
Hi,

I'll check this. Most likely a new bug that got introduced when I changed the way textures work for the drawcall minimizer. I'll come back about this one.
 
Hi,

I fixed the bug, it should work again in the next development release.

I thought I was going crazy even the html report not calling up the converted textures as well...
 
That was the same bug, the mass texture editor was not updating the model correctly.

Like I mentioned a couple of days ago I made quite some changes to the way textures work to get the drawcall minimizer working correctly. It seems I by accident broke a few other functions as well. That's the risk with using the development release :).

Arno,... Don't worry about it... no problem! Your right, that's the risk of using the development release. But without using the Development Release how could the "bugs" get fixed. You are doing a Great job!!! There are pains with growth!
 
Hi,

Yes, I know. I am very happy to have such a good group of testers who tell me directly about all the bugs I make :D. You efforts are appreciated very much.
